Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LRP-3497, SLBY 1361, LBY 1361, LST-7497) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, J.H.[interlinked] LRP 3497 SIDE 1 [check mark] and J.H.[interlinked] LRP 3497 SIDE 2 [check mark].
